Le Trez-Hir

The spot works well with a southeast sector wind, which comes side-on relative to the east-oriented beach, offering a regular water surface protected from west swells by the Brest harbor. The launch area is easily accessible on the wide sandy right side, near the nautical center, with a clear take-off zone on the fine sand. The navigation area extends offshore in the bay, without major obstacles, but one must remain vigilant of rocky areas on the sides.

Depending on the tides, the water surface goes from flat to light chop at high tide, ideal for beginners, while at low tide it can become more technical with exposed sand. The best sessions occur mid-tide for optimal space. Locals prefer afternoon thermal winds in summer, and the spot is perfect for schools with its shallow water near the shore.

Local feature: the fort of Bertheaume to the north marks the limit, and the proximity of the Crozon peninsula creates a constant wind effect in the right directions. Avoid days of high tide coefficients where currents intensify near the rocky points.
